An experiment with IR filters

[ballaratdragons]

I have previously posted the comparison results of 'no filter', 'Toucam IR Filter' and Full IR Cut Filter.

I tried an experiment by using BOTH the Toucam filter and the IR Cut filter together!!! :eyepop:

Just to see what would happen :lol:

Here is the result with Omega Centauri.

ED80, Modded Toucam 840k. both filters together, 6 x 100 second images stacked.

Hi Ken, I like the blue tinge to it and it's nicely resolved as well. I think that you have lost some of the fainter stars though, probably the effect from the combination of the two filters.

Cheers

I think so too. Had to try though, or I'd never know.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say. It's all good research for future images.

Hmm, not too bad... ;)
